"Riches get their value from the mind of the possessor; they are blessings to those who know how to use them, and curses to those who do not"

About this Quote

This quote by Terence talks to the concept that wealth is not inherently great or bad, but rather it is the mindset and actions of the person who has it that identifies its value. Riches can be a true blessing to those who utilize them wisely, for example, to buy their community or to help those in need. On the other hand, riches can be a curse to those who do not use them properly, such as those who utilize them to acquire power or to make use of others. This quote serves as a reminder that wealth is not an end in itself, but rather a tool that can be used for either good or bad. It depends on the private to decide how to use their wealth, and to be conscious of the repercussions of their actions. Ultimately, it is the mind of the possessor that determines the worth of riches.
